The original Boomer was a male portrayed by African-American Herb Jefferson, Jr. Boomer was a lieutenant, an officer with a background in engineering and communications. He was also an expert Colonial Viper pilot, and had pulled a tour of duty in the frozen environment of Ice Station Thule (thus making Boomer useful for similar missions in the series, such as Gun on Ice Planet Zero).

Years later, during the events of Galactica 1980, Boomer had reached the rank of colonel and was the executive officer of the Battlestar Galactica.
